第2题：
According to the author, the reason why parental divorce has greater effect on boys than on girls is that_____.
［A］ all cultures encourage male aggression and noncompliance
［B］ boys are always involved in their parents’ fights
［C］ males are usually viewed as the models in self-control and strong will
［D］ boys are basically more self-disciplined than girls
正确答案：C本题考查推理引申。第三段中间作者提出了一个问题，怎样解释离婚对男孩影响比女孩大的原因呢？接下来文章从三个方面进行了解释：一，我们的文化更能容忍男孩具有攻击性和不驯服；二，男孩更希望树立起自律的强悍的男人形象，也希望父母严格自律；三，男孩较少受到他人的同情与支持。［C］符合第二点原因，是正确项。［A］错在“所有文化”，文章中是“我们的文化”。［B］错在“卷入（involved in）”，全文最后一句提到的是“男孩更容易看到（be exposed to）父母吵架”。［D］这种说法无从推知。

What maxim is flouted in such extreme examples of tautologies as "Boys are boys", and"Lies are lies"?A．The maxim of quantity.
B．The maxim of quality.
C．The maxim of relevance.
D．The maxim of manner.答案：A解析：考查对交际中合作准则的理解。美国哲学家格莱斯Paul Grice认为．在所有的言语交际活动中，说话人和听话人之间为达到某一个共同的交际目标，都有一种默契，一种双方都立遵守的原则。即合作原则，包括以下四条准则：数量准则、质量准则、关联准则和方式准则。数量准则(The maxim of quantity)：①自己所说的话达到所要求的详尽程度；②不能使自己所说的话比所要求的更详细。质量准则(The maxim ofquality)：①不要说自己认为不真实的话；②不要说自己缺乏足够证据的话。关联准则(The maxim of relevance)：说话要贴切。方式准则(The maxim of manner)：①避免晦涩的词语；②避免歧义；③说话要简要；④说话要有条理。题干问的是“Boys are boys”和“Lies are lies”这两个同义重复的极端例子违反了哪个准则。题干中“男孩是男孩”“谎言是谎言”表达不够详尽，所以违反了数量准则．故选A。 -

Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art,dance and music,according to research released today.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity,the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype,the U.S. study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness,rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The report,presented at a conference of the International Boys' Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools,goes against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
The headmaster of Eton,Tony Little,warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticised teachers for failing to recognise that boys are actually more emotional than girls,despite the fact that girls"turn on the waterworks".
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become demoralised when their female counterparts do better earlier in verbal skills and reading,because the left side of the brain develops faster in girls.They also felt they had to be"cool"rather than studious.
But in single-sex schools teachers are able to tailor lessons to boys' learning style,letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom,wrote the study's author,education expert Abigail James,of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically"boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because,the researchers say,boys generally have better spatial skills,more acute vision,learn best through touch,are more impulsive and more physically active,they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around." Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine and prefer the modern genre in which violence and sexism are major themes,"James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype gained from the media by girls that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "in the present sexualised atmosphere prevalent in mnixed schools,boys feel coerced into acting like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,"the report said.According to Abigail James,one of the advantages of single-sex schools is________.
A:teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B:boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C:boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D:teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit答案：A解析：文章第三段讲到：在男子学校里，一男生们可以有更多的杯会参与文化和艺术活动，还有助于他们发展情感表现力。他们不用强迫自己遵守“男性代码”，隐藏内心的感情，表现的像个“真正的男人”。
第四段最后讲到：报告驳斤了认为男生跟女生二起能学得更好的传统认识。因此得出人们通常认为“in a mixed school boys perform relatively better"。
第五段讲到：现在的英国教育体系太过关注女生，可能会造成对界李的教育失败。他批评教师们没有意识到，虽然女生很容易哭终，停男生其牢些幸生情感更丰富。

can't call an emergency service,"German signs."And we can't order food in drive-thru."
Despite their difficulties,the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They
got their jobs through a"workability"program,designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of
learning disabilities.

听力原文： The piano and violin are girls' instruments. Drums and trumpets are for boys. According to Psychologists Susan O' Neil and Michael Bottome, children have very clear ideas about which musical instruments they should play. They found that despite the best efforts of teachers, these ideas have changed very little over the past decade. They interviewed 153 children, aged between 9 and 11, from schools in northwest England. They asked them to identify four musical instruments and then say which they would like to play most and which they would least like to play. They also asked the children for their views on whether boys or girls should not play any of the four instruments. The piano and violin were both ranked more favorably by girls than by boys, while boys preferred the drums and trumpets. There was a broad agreement between boys and girls on which instruments each sex should play and the reasons varied. And while almost half of all boys said they avoided certain instruments because they were too difficult to play. Only 15 percent of girls gave that as a reason. Earlier studies indicated that very young school children aged between 5 and 7, showed no bias in choosing musical instruments. But their tastes become more clear between the ages of 8 and 10. One survey of 78 teachers suggested that after that age, both boys and girls begin to restrict themselves to the so-called male or female instruments.

正确答案： C解析： 由新闻第一句可知，2008年津巴布韦的就学率降到了20%，也就是说，有80%的学生辍学在家。
【录音原文】
The UN Children’s Fund reports school attendance in Zimbabwe has rapidly declined from more than 85 percent in 2007 to just 20 percent by the third term of 2008. The UNICEF Representative in Zimbabwe, Roeland Monasch, says the cholera epidemic and the collapse of basic services are adversely affecting the population. He says children are staying away from school because they have to help their parents look for food or find ways to earn money to help support their families.

第四段开头作者提到他们有“negative images of ourselves”，接着描述到他们小时候猜疑自己种族的人在本质上存在问题：小学的时候他们不能说西班牙语，到高中的时候虽然政策改变了但在白人面前说自己的语言仍然会感到羞耻，因为“the supposed inferiority of our language and culture”，由此可见the barrio boys有负面的自我形象是因为他们感觉自己的语言和文化低人一等。 -

第24题：
问答题Public Schools However good the state schools may be, it is still true that if an English parent has enough money to pay the fees to send his children to an independent school he will most probably do so. In independent schools boys and girls above the age of eight are usually educated separately. The terms “primary” and “secondary” are not usually applied to independent schools at the different levels because the age of transfer from a lower to a higher school is normally thirteen or fourteen instead of eleven. The principal schools for boys of over thirteen are called “public schools” and those for younger boys are usually called “preparatory” (or colloquially “prep”) schools. For girls there are some preparatory schools and public schools which are female imitations of the boys’ institutions. A typical “preparatory school’“—or private primary school—is very small, with between fifty and a hundred boys, either all boarders or all dayboys, or some of each. Many of these schools are in adapted houses in the country or in small towns, houses built in the nineteenth century and too big to be inhabited by families in the conditions of the modern world. If there are fifty boys, aged between eight-plus and thirteen-plus, they will probably be taught in five or six grades (or “forms”); the headmaster will himself work as an ordinary teacher, and he will have four or five assistants working for him. The preparatory schools prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination and for public school life. The, schools in the state system do not prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination, so a boy who tried to change from the states system to the independent school system at the age of thirteen would find difficulty in entering a public school at all. With a few exceptions public schools are all boarding schools, providing residential accommodation for their pupils, though many of them take some day-boys also. Most are in the southern half of England. Some of them are several hundred years old, but many others, including some of the most prominent thirty, were founded during the past 140 years. Most public schools, particularly the most eminent ones, are called by the name of the town or village in which they are situated; some are called “College” and some are not. The four most famous of all are Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College and Rugby School. Public schools are inspected by the inspectors of the Department of Education, but otherwise they are quite independent. Each has a board of governors. They control the finances and appoint the headmaster, who in his turn appoints the other teachers. To send a boy to .a leading public school costs about 900 to 1,100 pounds a year, though some of the less prominent schools may cost as little as 600 pounds. All the schools award “scholarships” to some of their boys who do very good work in an examination on entering or during their first year, and the boys who win scholarships pay reduced fees or in a few cases no fees at all.正确答案： 【参考译文】
英国的公学 在英国,无论国立学校有多好,只要家长有足够的钱支付学费,他们就极有可能送孩子上私立学校。
在私立学校,8岁以上孩子的教育是分开进行的。私立学校通常不存在“小学”和“中学”的层次划分。在私立学校,学生由低年级转入高年级的年龄一般是13岁或14岁而不是11岁。13岁以上的男孩就读的学校称作“公学”,而较小年级的男孩则就读于“预备”学校。
对于女孩子而言,她们也可以就读一些预备学校和公学,这些学校与男孩子就读的学校体制大同小异。
典型的“预备学校”或“私立学校”规模都很小,只收取50到100名男生,有的学校只招收寄宿生,有的只招收走读生,也有的学校两者兼有。这类学校大多位于乡村或小城镇中改建过的房子里。这些房子多建于19世纪,因过于宽大而不宜现代家庭居住,所以被改为校舍。如果学校有50名8岁多到13岁多的男生,那么他们很可能会被分成五到六个年级。校长自己以一名普通教师的身份参与教学,有4到5位老师协助其工作。预备学校的职责在于为学生们参加公学的统一入学考试以及公学的学习生活做准备。但是,国立学校的教学并不以公学的统一考试为目的,所以,如果一名13岁的男孩试图从国立学校转入私立学校,那么公学的入学考试对他来说有一定的困难。
除了少数特例外,英国的公学全都是寄宿学校,它们为学生提供住宿,也有一些公学招收走读生。大部分公学位于英格兰南半部,有些公学已经有几百年历史。不过有相当一部分公学(包括30所最出名的学校)是在过去的140年里建起来的。另外,大部分公学(尤其是最著名的学校)是根据它们所处的城镇或村庄而命名的,有的被称为“公学”,有的则另有其名。英国最负盛名的四所公学是伊顿公学、哈罗公学、温切斯特公学和拉格比公学。
除了接受教育部的督察之外,公学享有相当的独立自主权。每所学校都有一个管理董事会,他们控制财务,任命校长,再由校长来任命教师。在英国,送一个男孩到一所一流的公学读书,每年需花费约900到1100英镑,相比之下,到一所名气平平的学校读书每年只需花费600英镑。所有的公学都为在入学考试或第一年学习中取得好成绩的学生提供奖学金,获得奖学金的学生可以减少学费,或者在少数情况下可以免交学费。解析： 暂无解析
